Airly Turret is a rocky peak about 2 kilometres south-east of Mt Airly & adjacent to the south-western slopes of Genowlan Mountain.

The are excellent views of the surrounding countryside from the summit of Airly Turret.

The sheer cliffs & high pagodas make Airly Turret look hard to climb. There are a couple of routes that aren't too difficult.

It would be very easy to spend a day exploring the pagodas on Airly Turret, enjoying the birdlife & taking in the views.
